Sepia

2nd place is going to be interesting. The poor guys must be giving all they got to get away from each other. And all this after 900kms. Must be mentally and physically tough going to be close racing each other at this stage.

Maybe KB burnt too many matches in Aus? MM for the win DG in second KB in third JD for a credible finish and may go up a place or two? Vettes - incredible ride GJ - inspirational ride and not forgetting all the participants for entering and at least giving it a go. Humbled by these riders.

Huge respect!!!!! Wow!!!! My injury is a mere flesh wound. Unbelievable. What a performance indeed.

Go Vetseun go!

Hold on a minute. Has Guy had a hip replacement? Both? Am I reading correctly or too much dot watching????

The time is about to happen. Best of luck and positive vibes all the way down with no mechanicals. To the Hubbers, especially the dik bus, may the wind be on your back the whole way. Second last is a win for me, you go Vettes!

Forceps delivery with the long (big) head. (Maybe his helmet is too small.)

Was going to camp in my bakkie myself but have called up some "favours" Looks like it could be a muddy (very) ride.

Do we bring our mud wheels? Looks like it could be a bit damp? Any views?

I know it is a beast but is the name of that "hill" actually called Heartbreak? I guess I have actually answered my own question Nice one Fanie and thanks for the pics.

I second this!

His name is not on the list.

Still sick. Been off work for a week now. Going to cough and splatter my way through. I will be at the back so don't clear out the sustenance at the last stop. I will be needing medication by then.

Very true this.

Thank goodness we did not get it! We have to start taking responsibility ourselves now and not expect foreign sympathy. We simply cannot afford it and the bribes which go with it. It is now time to come clean. Learn how to play rugby first and then apply for fringe benefits. What a mess. Who knows where we will be at world cup time but just look north for starters.

Me too please.

I was thinking the same.

Lets have the namelist then?

Ohhh, that might hurt! In full flight around the mast I reckon. This is probably the same as going OTB in MTB terms.

Look forward to these little updates. Thanks

I am also out. Goodbye Springbok rugby. Tired of promises.

Beefcake as a captain. No mobility in the pack and Elton needs to concentrate on the game and not appearance. (This is not Bafana Bafana)

I still use it. But then then I am also old and use a saddle bag.

Not good. Last thing you need right now. Hope it disappears quickly and the lurgy does not interfere with your training too much.

Me too. Two weeks now and flu symptoms. Seems to be doing its rounds here in Durban, many people I know have the same infection.
